Jeep Wrangler

There are several things that one must know before seeking military jeeps for sale. There are some distinctions between the civilian jeep and military jeeps. A familiarity with military jeeps will ensure that the consumer knows what he or she is getting when the consumer finally makes a military jeep purchase.

Military jeeps for sale are vehicles that have been built for heavy duty work and are vehicles revered for their ability to handle well on rough terrain. These vehicles were created in the early 1940s to replace some of the 4×4 heavy duty trucks that soldiers were using during times of war. Military jeeps for sale possess a six hundred pound load capacity, smooth running engines, and offer 4WD capabilities too. Modern jeeps bear this similarity, and consumers appreciate the rough and rugged riding capabilities of such vehicles.

The very first mass produced military jeeps for sale that were used by the government and were identified as the Willys MB was later replaced by the after WWII by the Willys M38 in the 1950s. These military jeeps for sale also possess fold down windshields, and a 2-speed transfer case. The body of military jeeps is rectangular in shape and the military jeep weighs less than twelve thousand pounds. The latter combination of features was put into all military jeeps produced for use in WWII, and the military jeeps performed so well that they became a high demand vehicle for other industries as well.

When additional industries expressed a desire for military jeeps for sale, these vehicles were changed just enough to meet the needs of such industries. At that time, military jeeps for sale saw the incorporation of different steering, a new transfer case, and a change in the axle ratio was also added. Eventually, the government’s demand for military jeeps declined due to the creation of the Humvee, but civilians still appreciate the durability and longevity of the military-style vehicles.

If a consumer is seeking older military jeeps for sale they can best do so by using online auctioning sites; these types of sites can prove a serious asset to the consumer seeking a high quality military jeep in excellent condition. At minimum, the consumer can fully ascertain the condition of the exterior body of the jeep for sale, and can also learn about the various features that the jeep possesses. The consumer will want to review photo images of the jeep under consideration in order to look for signs of damage and rusting.

The vehicle description of military jeeps for sale may also offer up detailed information about any necessary repairs the jeep might require; the latter information can supply the jeep buyer with an idea about necessary parts expenses. If parts are required the consumer will want to research how much the parts will cost before making a jeep purchase. By researching parts costs, the consumer will have more than reasonable expense expectations.

In a recent press conference held at the Country Music Hall of Fame, two of the most famous country music artists and real life couple Tim McGraw and Faith Hill said that Chrysler Group’s Jeep brand has announced its sponsorship to the couple’s North American concert series tour called the “Soul2Soul Tour 2007″.

The Jeep brand is really a great sponsor for the couple. In fact, a Jeep vehicle called the “Date Jeep” was a part of the coupe’s love story. Faith Hill explains:

“In 1996 in State College, Penn., we were doing a show together. We took a ride in a borrowed Jeep and that’s where we decided that we were going to be together and build a life together.

Back in 1996, we were in State College, Pennsylvania it was in March and we were doing a show together, we borrowed the Jeep of this runner for the fair where we were performing. That’s where we definitely decided that we were going to be together, that from that point on we were going to take this relationship seriously and make a life together and it started in that Jeep right out there and it’s a nice little way to finish out a circle…and you can add all the details that I left out.” (talking to Tim McGraw).

Tim McGraw added:

“Well there’s not too many details I want to add. She tracked down the Jeep and gave it to me for my birthday a couple of years ago and I thought that was a pretty cool surprise. We’re excited. I had a Jeep when I was in high school, always had a good time in them, tore a few up in the mud. And this one is very special to us as you can tell that she told. And we’re excited to get back on the road again. Last summer was really cool for us, that was the third time we’d been on tour together. The first tour was my Spontaneous Combustion tour which was my first headlining tour.”

The Soul2Soul Tour 2007 will commence in Omaha, Nebraska on June 6, visiting other cities in North America ending the tour at Anaheim, California on Aug. 10. With Jeep’s sponsorship in the Soul2Soul Tour 2007 concert series, the brand will be a part of every concert venue. In addition, the company will also develop a special “Soul2Soul” 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that will travel along the tour with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Of course, the couple will also bring their “Date Jeep”, which is a red 1978 Jeep CJ-6 to go along with the concert tour. For the concert viewers, Jeep will conduct special events in concert venues along with product placements. The company will show off some of the latest Jeep models and other Jeep parts for on- and off-road capability like the Freedom-Drive II off-road package and Jeep fender for instance.

Moreover, as a part of Jeep’s sponsorship, the brand will also include online activities for country music lovers and at the same time auto enthusiasts.

John Plecha, Director of Jeep Brand Marketing and Global Communications commented on their sponsorship and said: “Tim and Faith have a story about how the Jeep brand has been part of their lives that’s not unlike the thousands of stories we hear every year from Jeep owners all over the world.”

“As members of our Jeep family, it made perfect sense to blend our brands into a mutually beneficial partnership. We are very pleased to be associated with these two very talented artists who reach a broad audience much like the seven vehicles in the Jeep lineup.” he added.
